Dr. Perlin Testifies for Defense
Pennsylvania judge bars non-probative DNA
In Butler County, questionable DNA evidence was presented against a man accused of sexually assaulting a woman. Cybergenetics Dr. Mark Perlin testified at the trial.
Hon. McCune excluded DNA evidence from his court because it "would be misleading and confusing to the jury. A jury will likely hear DNA and assume it links the Defendant to the alleged crime even though it does not." Charges were reduced to a misdemeanor.

Louisiana Drug Dealer Pleads Guilty to Homicide
TrueAllele results help DA move forward
On January 25 in Kenner, LA, a drug deal-turned-armed-robbery resulted in one dead. Dayan Sanchez (21) shot and killed Hykeem Martin (19). Sanchez apparently fired in self-defense. However, he was charged with manslaughter, marijuana distribution, illegally carrying a firearm, illegal firearm discharge, and firearm possession by a convicted felon.
On October 13, Sanchez pled guilty as charged. The guilty plea was based in part on pro bono assistance from Cybergenetics. Their TrueAllele
computer connected a nearby phone to Sanchez with a match statistic of a quadrillion.
Jefferson Parish Assistant District Attorney Douglas Rushton told Cybergenetics, "Thank you for getting the initial analysis done in this case in such a timely manner. Many thanks and I look forward to working more with you in the future."

TrueAllele Makes Match, Police Make Arrest
Cybergenetics' report saves time and expense
Police arrested a "very active" suspect in California, thanks in part to TrueAllele speed. Beginning in summer 2015, a series of restaurants were robbed by a man using a semi-automatic handgun. Cybergenetics was given DNA data from a cast-off straw and a cell phone. TrueAllele found the items were linked with a match statistic of around ten quintillion.
Case agents then sent an urgent email requesting a comparison between the items and a suspect.
Detectives needed a same-day report. Otherwise, 5 days of surveillance at up to $20,000 per day would be required.
Cybergenetics delivered the report on time. The comparison supported a match, and the suspect was arrested.
